Product Description
The professional peloton moved away from thick, sticky gels years ago. The shift was quiet but consistent — drinkable, liquid-format gels that go down clean at race pace without the texture revolt that derails your fueling mid-effort. Amacx led that shift in Dutch professional cycling, and this pack puts both of their gel formats side by side so you can find where each one belongs in your race-day strategy.
This is the only pack that lets you test Amacx's two drinkable gel formats back-to-back — the 30g Drink Gel for precise, adjustable fueling and the 40g Turbo Gel for when the effort demands more.
Drinkable Format, Real Difference Both gels flow like liquid rather than squeezing out thick and requiring water to chase them down. At race pace and high heart rate, that texture difference is not cosmetic — it's the difference between fueling going down clean and spending the next 10 minutes managing what you just took.
Two Carb Levels, One Decision The Drink Gel delivers 30g of carbohydrates per 60ml using a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio, supporting up to 90g of carbs per hour. The Turbo steps up to 40g using a 1:0.8 ratio that pushes both absorption pathways harder, unlocking up to 120g per hour when combined with other Turbo Line products. Testing both tells you which dose your gut handles at race intensity.
NZVT Certified Across the Range Every Amacx product carries NZVT certification — the Dutch anti-doping standard independently tested for banned substances. For competitive athletes, that's the relevant benchmark.
The carb ratio difference between the two gels matters beyond just the numbers. Your gut absorbs glucose and fructose through separate pathways, and the Turbo's higher fructose load pushes that second pathway harder than a standard 2:1 formula. Both gels contain 200mg of sodium per serving so you're covering electrolyte replacement alongside the fuel. Neither requires water — the liquid is already in the formula.
Regular Efforts: Use the Drink Gel for sessions where 60 to 90g of carbs per hour is the target — one to two gels per hour gives you precise, adjustable dosing without committing to a large carb hit at once.
High Demand Efforts: Reach for the Turbo when the effort calls for 80g or more per hour. Two Turbo Gels per hour gets you to 80g; combine with a Turbo drink mix to push toward 120g.
Pro Tip: Test the Cassis Caffeine Turbo Gel for the hardest sections of your race — 100mg of caffeine alongside 40g of carbs is a meaningful mid-race boost, but test it in training first.
Amacx developed the Turbo Line in direct response to high-carb absorption research reshaping professional race nutrition, and supplies Dutch WorldTour cycling teams who run the highest hourly carb intakes in the sport.

Amacx Gel Pack FAQ's
Everything you need to know about Amacx Gel Pack.
The Drink Gel delivers 30g of carbohydrates per 60ml using a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio — a precise, adjustable dose suited to moderate intensity efforts and athletes building toward higher hourly carb intake. The Turbo Gel steps up to 40g per 60ml using a 1:0.8 ratio that pushes fructose loading harder and supports up to 120g of carbs per hour when combined with other Turbo Line products. The Turbo is Amacx's performance-day formula; the Drink Gel is the everyday training option.
At high heart rate and race pace, thick gel textures become a genuine GI problem — they sit heavily, require water to process, and after multiple servings, they trigger the nausea and flavor fatigue that make athletes skip doses entirely. The drinkable format eliminates the CO₂ gas reaction you get with some gels, goes down without water, and is significantly easier to take when you're breathing hard. For athletes doing back-to-back fueling across a long race, it's a functional difference, not a cosmetic one.
Both ratios use glucose and fructose together to engage two separate gut absorption pathways simultaneously, which is what allows absorption beyond the 60g per hour ceiling of single-source gels. The 2:1 ratio in the Drink Gel is the established standard that supports up to 90g per hour. The 1:0.8 ratio in the Turbo loads fructose more aggressively, pushing toward 120g per hour for athletes whose training has prepared their gut for that intake level. If you're newer to high-carb fueling, start with the Drink Gel and work up.
NZVT is the Dutch anti-doping supplement testing program — similar to Informed Sport, it involves independent batch testing for all substances on the WADA Banned Substances List. For competitive athletes subject to anti-doping testing, that batch-level verification is the meaningful standard. Amacx carries NZVT across their product range, which reflects the professional cycling environment the brand was built for.
Both work together cleanly and are designed to do so. A practical approach: use the Drink Gel during steady-effort sections for controlled 30g doses, and switch to the Turbo during the hardest windows — climbs, race-pace surges, final blocks — where you want 40g delivered fast. Since both are built in clean carbohydrate increments, tracking your hourly intake stays straightforward regardless of how you mix them.
